CEFRIO releases NETendances “Online entertainment: web TV takes off”
We briefly present some results revealed in this latest NETendances.
- Internet and gaming : The proportion of Quebec adults playing online games increased by 44% between 2005 and 2011. Marie Nicollet highlights the popularity of mobile games elsewhere in the world and how their marketing on mobile phones could change gives it.
- Web TV and web radio: Surprisingly, it is not young Quebec Internet users who obtain the greatest proportion of web TV and web radio followers, but rather the 35 to 44 year olds with 60%. Marie Nicollet dwells on the impact that the Internet has on the classic programming of radio or television broadcasts.
- Online videos and photos: Watching videos remains the most popular activity of Quebec Internet users with 54%, while their distribution is still a very marginal activity with 11%. I propose that the use of smart phones coupled with the use of social networks have a major impact on the dissemination and consumption of photos and videos on the Internet.
- Downloading music: It is no surprise that the gap remains large between downloading free and paid music (6%). Indeed, 23% of Quebec Internet users downloaded only free music and only 17% downloaded paid music. I insist on the trivialization of the consumer's musical offer as the main argument explaining this gap.
- The digital book: Although the proportion of Quebec Internet users downloading digital books has doubled in 1 year, this behavior remains marginal with 8%. Amanda Piedimonte reminds that content publishers should not only focus on digital distribution of their content, but on maximizing the reader's experience.
